Naphthalene is soluble in diethyl ether, but it is insoluble in water regardless of the solution pH. Explain why this compound cannot be readily ionized in aqueous solution.

Naphthalene is a non polar substance

Explanation:

In chemistry, the principle of like dissolves like is the over aching principle that controls the dissolution of one substance in another.

Naphthalene dissolves in diethyl ether because diethyl ether is a non polar solvent just as naphthalene is a nonpolar substance.

Since water is a polar solvent, it can not dissolves naphthalene at any pH because naphthalene is a nonpolar substance.

explanation:

alkaline metals are lithium, sodium, rubidium, potassium, cesium and francium.

alkali metals have electronegativity from 0.7 to 1, lowest in periodic table of elements, which means that alkali metals (i group in periodic table) has positive oxidation number in compounds.

electronegativity is a chemical property that describes the tendency of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons towards itself.

alkaline metals (far left in main group) have lowest ionizations energy and easy remove valence electrons,

for example, potassium is the alkali metal and has a single valence electron in the outer electron shell.

electron configuration of potassium is: ₁₉k 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s¹.

they can not exist alone in nature, because they are very reactive.
